and I’m not going to be talking about current events, rather sharing my travel experiences from the last week.
Get me off this behemoth thing
Modern day air travel is a fucking nightmare. The longer the flight, the worse the nightmare. This one I’m on right now ( pic rel ) is from Oahu (Honolulu) to JFK. It’s 9 fucking hours and at this point we’re only 1 1/2 hours in. The journey from JFK back the other way is worse. For some reason it’s 3 hours longer. I have no idea why, but I’m not a big fan of flying for anything over 5 hours duration.
10% actual juice. 10% actual enjoyment flying
In the past I have flown 6 hours to LA and then 13 hours to Australia in one hit. Never again. I calculated that from door to door, (that is from my place to the place I would eventually arrive at) took 32 hours. It’s a fucking barbaric way to travel. You’re shoved into a very small space with very little room to manoeuvre. Cattle trains would be the closest thing to this. It’s completely retarded, but in the quest for higher and higher profits, comfort is sacrificed for “cheap” fares. You couldn’t pay me to undergo this torture, but here I am paying to go some fucking where.
The only alternative is to pay through the nose for an upgrade, and even then it’s only marginally better than coach. First class is somewhat decent, (I know because I’ve flown first class from Hong Kong to JFK) but who wants to pay $10, 000 to fly to Australia?
Prison food may be slightly better than this
A few hours later and we’ve finally hit the mainland because I can see the lights of Los Angeles down below. It would be nice to land here but no, we have another 4 1/2 hours to go. This is Monday’s journal however, and I don’t want to dwell on the negative. The one positive aspect (if you can call it that) is that this plane is equipped with Elon Musk’s Starlink WIFI internet, which means I can check on my house, catch up with the news, browse a certain Mongolian basket weaving forum that I’m interested in, and shit post all night long from 40,000 feet.
The actual aircraft this piece was written on. The Airbus A330-200
In the past week I have seen so many people wearing face masks that it beggars belief. I don’t go out much, so I guess these idiots are everywhere. I just don’t get to see them a lot. Why, in the name of Satan would anyone need to wear a cunting face mask on an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean is beyond me, but there they are, shuffling about like zombies in 83 deg F heat in a place where “covid” probably never existed in the first place. It’s fucked up! There are also a hell of a lot of fat people here. It’s like the norm now. Soon it will be normal sized people who are stigmatized for being too thin. I can totally see this happening.
IMO some of the ‘disabled’ should be thrown out at 30,000 feet
The ‘disabled’ will be at the top of the social tier eventually, everyone else will be lesser beings. It’s becoming a huge scam and an industry, and you can’t complain because they are disabled. It’s probably a hate crime to say anything. The ‘disabled’ can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. As I was waiting to get on this flight, I sat down in the departure lounge as one does. All of a sudden this person who had been wheeled onto the last flight appeared in front of me with a baleful stare as if to demand that I vacate my seat. This was so rude and egregious I wanted to kick her fucking teeth in right at that point. This was probably her standard tactic to get what she wanted, which in this case was an ordinary everyday seat in the gate lounge. There were other seats available and close by, but for some reason this cunt wanted the one I was in.
Of course I wasn’t moving and why should I? I just stared back and eventually it’s wheel chair pusher got the hint and moved it somewhere else. Just because you’re wheelchair bound doesn’t give you carte blanche to push people around. You might be getting pushed around, but you’re not fucking pushing me around, cunt.
Oh, we’re off to a good start aren’t we?
